Hi, Anyone seen the recent news about the SNP trying to sell of 25% of our forests to private contractors who probably will have zero interest in mountain biking and general recreation activities and focus purely on timber operations?

Oh yeah remember that said forests are publicly owned and only managed on our behalf.

So linkys with more info [url]www.saveourforests.org.uk[/url]
do remember to sign the petition if you want.

Hey TJ the suggested lease period is 75 years so it won't come back to us in our life time. That's as good as selling in my eyes.
